How are cryptocurrencies taxed in the Personal Income Tax?<\/h2>\n
If you bought cryptocurrencies and sell them last year or exchange them for others, obtaining a different price than the one you paid when you bought them, you will have to include the transaction in the income statement as a capital gain or loss<\/strong>, and it will be added to the rest of gains or losses. That is, they work in a similar way to when an investment is made in the stock market.<\/p>\nIf you do not declare the profit or loss obtained from the sale of the cryptocurrencies and are required by the Tax Agency to do so, they could demand the income tax corresponding to that undeclared profit, plus interest on late payment and, in addition, impose a penalty.<\/p>\n
To know what to declare in the income, you will have to calculate the difference between the value with which you bought the cryptocurrencies and the value with which you sold them, subtracting the expenses<\/strong> (commissions, for example).<\/p>\nIf you lose money with cryptocurrencies, you can compensate the amount you have lost from the rest of the capital gains you have obtained.<\/p>\n

An example of cryptocurrencies in the Personal Income Tax<\/h2>\n
To make it more transparent, we give you a straightforward example. Suppose you buy cryptocurrencies for an amount of 2,000 euros and sell them for 3,000. In that case, you will have obtained a capital gain of 1,000 euros that you will have to add to the rest of the capital gains that you have received during the year (for example, gains in the sale of securities) and apply the rate corresponding to savings income.<\/p>\n
